My paddock right by the stables is quite small, I think 1.5 acres. We fenced and planted (?) it about 3/4 years ago. It never really took off properly. The grass firstly took forever to come through in the first place but then it’s always been a bit thin and patchy looking.
In winter I use it trash paddock style as in i turnout daily, even in bad weather I try and get them out a bit. On the plus side it’s very dry well drained land so great for winter with plenty of hay, they are never stood round up to their knees in mud! but just won’t grow!
After a harsh summer (it was brown and looked dead) and having had a hammering this winter we plan to reseed.
Q is ideally when? and how long do I leave it for before grazing again? It’s also ideal for summer as it’s pretty fly free so would like to use it over horse fly season if that’s feasible?
